]]>Comment on What is a Convenient Shorthand for Music Notation Within Word Processing Software? by RT (@rttheteacher)https://mramusicplace.net/2014/06/25/what-is-a-convenient-shorthand-for-music-notation-within-word-processing-software/comment-page-1/#comment-170
Mon, 08 May 2017 01:20:12 +0000http://mramusicplace.wordpress.com/?p=381#comment-170Just ran across this, but I thought I’d put in my 2 cents on what I use.

There’s a bit of a learning curve, but for basic melodies, it’s not too difficult to learn to use lilypond.

With open-source software like LibreOffice or OpenOffice.Org (both office suites with word processors), there is an extension called oooLilypond. What it does is allows you to click a button and then enter lilypond code (which I think you’ll find easier than what you have done), Then it places a graphic of the notation right into your file just like a picture, which you can anchor as text, or to the page or the paragraph or whatever.

Lilypond is very powerful, but it’s pretty easy for simple stuff, too. Especially if you use relative mode, where it defaults to the closest octave of a pitch from the previous note, and changing octaves is as easy as adding an apostrophe or comma.

For example, since Star Wars is big right now, I’ll show you how that main theme would work. You’d just type this (anything on a line after ” % ” is a comment and is ignored):

Then it just throws the music right into your file. Easy as all get-out.

Thu, 20 Apr 2017 12:29:10 +0000http://mramusicplace.wordpress.com/?p=991#comment-169Thanks for your comment. There is more to a players tone than the embouchure. McLane taught Wright and opperman, but not Kell. Bonade and McClane and to a lesser extent Cioffi earablished the pristine tone associated with the French style. Kell was not of that styke of playing regardless of his use of double lip. It was Kell who taught double lip to Goodman. Personally, I liked Stoltzman’s tone in the late 80s and through the 99s. It was diffeeent from Wright’s sound, but a ppeasing blend of dark and bright that had an expressive fulllness to it. He also made effective use of vibrato, which many objected to. Since the beginning of the 2000s, his playing has declined. Stoltzman was a student of Opperman.
